[Bug 817426] [NEW] debuild creates .packlist file and perllocal.pod

[fab-furnari]

Public bug reported:

When used to build packages of perl modules, debuild creates a
.packageslist file and perllocal.pod

An example:
using the MongoDB module:

wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/K/KR/KRISTINA/MongoDB-0.44.tar.gz
tar xzf MongoDB-0.44.tar.gz
cd MongoDB-0.44
debuild -us -uc
[... lots of fine stuff here but no errors ...]
lintian ../libmongodb-perl_0.43-1_amd64.deb


[...]
E: libmongodb-perl: perl-module-in-core-directory usr/lib/perl/5.10/
W: libmongodb-perl: package-installs-perllocal-pod usr/lib/perl/5.10/perllocal.pod
E: libmongodb-perl: perl-module-in-core-directory usr/lib/perl/5.10/perllocal.pod
E: libmongodb-perl: package-installs-packlist usr/lib/perl5/auto/MongoDB/.packlist
[...]


Same thing appears with modules downloaded with apt-get source and re-packaged with debuild.
